I always seem to stick with HandelGotDLig (like many others). I have tried most others due to the fact that it is so popular but i simply don't like anything else as much. Bank Gothic would come next i guess.

• HandelGotDLig
• Eurostile
• Myriad Apple
• Helvetica Neue
• Trebuchet MS

AFAIK, the first four are commercial, so you'd have to buy them online, or download them P2P (but I didn't say that).

Trebuchet MS should be installed on your system already.

I'm a big fan of the Bitstream Vera font family, which I think someone from these forums pointed me to.

I use Bitstream Vera Serif. It may seem kind of goofy to use a serif font for the system, but I find it goes well with my theme of choice, Butt O'Sigh's mes/DXB.

It's not perfect--some text in dialog boxes can get chopped off--but I still like it.
